So, the podcast had to be put on hold due to some car problems taking up a lot of my time (and money), but until it finally comes out, I managed to go out of town this weekend and managed to hit up some game stores and thrift stores. Kind of a slow weekend for finds until we were on our way out of town.
To begin, I found a pair of $3 games: [img width=639 height=478]http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr77/bickman2k/DSCN0487.jpg[/img] Red Faction for N-Gage [img width=640 height=480]http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr77/bickman2k/DSCN0488.jpg[/img] Flip Out! for Jaguar
At the same store, I purchased my first Neo Geo game! [img width=640 height=480]http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr77/bickman2k/DSCN0491.jpg[/img] It's a Japanese copy of Fatal Fury Special.
After that, it was a little slow. But we finally were starting the drive home Monday morning and we decided to try to find a Hollywood Video because their games $29.99 and under dropped to $4.99. The one we found on our GPS ended up being closed down, but we decided to stop at a few thrift stores. Some $2 controllers, a Wii dance mat for $2, and a PSX wheel with pedals (pretty sturdy) for $6 were some things I didn't get pics of.

[img width=640 height=480]http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr77/bickman2k/DSCN0493.jpg[/img] A $9 Saturn that came with Area 51, controller, and power cord.
And then there was this: [img width=640 height=480]http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr77/bickman2k/DSCN0486.jpg[/img] A TI-99/4A with 12 games, a Speech Synthesizer module, 2 controllers, RF unit, and AC adapter. All of it for $10.
As a bonus, I didn't pick it up, but I saw this at a Hastings. [img width=700 height=525]http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr77/bickman2k/img1248718653932.jpg[/img]

Great finds! Especially the Jaguar game and of course the Neo Geo game...love those huge cartridges. I'd really like a couple of those myself, if only the AES wasn't so expensive!

Well done on Garu Densetsu Special (Fatal Fury Special), I've got the Mega CD version and it is hard! Then again I'm not that into the fighting genre unlike my Mortal Kombat years.
